Snow in Columbus, Georgia!

I wanted to post these funny pics (funny because we never get snow here in our part of the country) Almost never anyway-last time it snowed a significant amount was about 8 years ago. So this was Samantha and Connor's first time playing in the snow...Me and Samantha made this pitiful little snowman :-) But had a great time in the process! Connor is still in the middle of his "footie-pajama obsession" and decided to enjoy the snow from the inside of his little wagon since he had no shoes on, lol. He stayed out a long time though-Daddy wheeled him around the neighborhood and he stared in awe at all the pretty white snow.

I admit I have had a rough week this week...my schedule actually slowed down a bit for a change, but it seemed to only give me more time to dwell on worrying...never a good thing! Add to that what I will refer to as "The Nail Polish Incident"

(in case you are wondering what this is, come over to my house and look at our carpet) I guess I am a true optimist at heart-because my first thought was "It could have been worse"...

Connor is okay-he didn't drink it thank goodness, or pour it on the dog, what's a little carpet in the long-run? That is the good thing about facing childhood cancer and a rare condition like OMS-you don't get as upset about the small stuff anymore. Things aren't as important-people are. So if you come to my house and there is permanent marker on the walls, nail polish on the floor, and pictures hanging on the wall with no glass on them anymore, lol, you know why. Connor is in a scary stage right now-big enough to get into everything and curious enough to try! We cannot take our eyes off him for a minute-it is like a perpetual state of toddler-hood around here and THAT scares me more than the messes.

He is a soon to be preschooler and it is becoming more and more obvious how behind he is compared to other kids his age. We ARE seeing improvements though-he is understanding SO much more than even a month ago. Thank goodness!!! He has been able to follow short directions like throwing something away-or getting a diaper from his room. Little things, but they mean SO much to us.

We are about to be getting ready for Relay For Life 2009! Last year was a new experience for me, this year I feel better prepared as to what is involved. I'll try and post our pictures from last year again soon-Connor was so cute in his little "Survivors T-Shirt" and he looked so much younger than he does now-he still had his baby curls :)

Love to All-
